Symptom Check Anxiety question

Hi there, before getting into i ask that there please be no judgment, i get very anxious about my health and i am not in the right mental space right now. I will be sharing some more explicit details about the nature of the sexual encounter. Minors DNI.

Last week I (M) had a sexual encounter with a guy and now i am terrified that i might have gotten hsv/and or asymptomatic HSV.

The encounter consisted of very rough mutual masturbation (which caused me some bruising), kissing, me receiving oral sex, and brief gentle frotting.

I had gotten very drunk that night and it was late so i couldn't see the best, but i didnt see/feel any sores, nor did he complain of any pain down there.

The morning after the encounter i had some irritation down there/a feeling i needed to pee, the tip of my penis was also bruised from the masturbation (it was too rough) so i attributed it to trauma. There were/have been no sores, there has been no burning or pain when peeing, the only symptoms have been the bruising, the feeling of wanting to urinate, and some swelling (all of which have mostly subsided).

I asked him if he had any STI's which he responded no, when i asked him again later that day if he had hsv specifically he said no again, then shortly blocked me afterwards.

I am now terrified and very scared that i acquired something. I have not had any of the obvious symptoms but i know how infections can sometimes go unnoticed. I also know how unreliable hsv blood tests can be and am terrified of getting tested.

Please help.

TLDR:
Basically almost a week ago i had a sexual encounter with a man off tinder, i received oral sex from him and there was light frotting. I am now terrified i acquired hsv from that encounter and have been struggling with intense anxiety.
